I agree that I think Wal-Mart is making a mistake in doing away with the material dept. Not all people have the money to go to a quilt store all the time. Wal-Mart used to have some pretty nice material and a fair price. I think that Sam Walten would be turning over in his grave if he knew how his family has handle his business, that he created for the lower income families of America. He cared about the people, but most today just think about how much money they can make and are never satisfied with what they have. Our new Wal-Mart in Lebanon, Ind. has some fat quarters and a few other sewing notions. Not much though.

used to work there and i think as they remodel the walmarts they are going to discontinue the fabrics. when ours remodeled they were supposed to do away with the crafts dept but decided to keep it just downsize it now they just have mainly jewelry stuff and kids crafts and a little bit of sewing notions and yarn so of course that leaves me with good old joanns YEA!! (smirks and rolls eyes) but i am glad to see the st clairsville still carries fabric its not real close but better than nothing.

Just to let you know I called this number(1-800-Walmart) and very nicely let them know how I felt and lot of others on closing the fabric dept. The lady apologized and I told her I knew that she had nothing to do with the decision and she was very appreciative. She said it would be passed on to upper management.

We still have fabric in LoveJoy, Ga until August of this year. And to my knowledge we still have some in Conyers, Riverdale, and I think Peachtree City in Ga.

Orlando, Florida on east Colonial Drive. A very good selection but the fabric gal told me it will only be there till next summer when they plan to do some remodeling. They plan to take out most of the crafts and all the fabric.

Sad to hear E. Col. Dr. will not have a fabric dept. I used to live in Ocoee, and that was the closest WM that carried fabrics.

I had Breast cancer detected and treated with Chemo and radiation 18 years ago. My prayer warrior friends and God's grace has helped me through. I still have other trials but thank Him for the 18 years I have travailed since then.

I guess this is not concerning WalMart but the last responder was subtitled as a 3 year survivor.
So, Lakewood, NY Walmart has fabric. Southwestern NY state.

Grand Forks ND still has fabric. Some is pretty good quality also

katherine p 03-11-2010 04:24 PM

When I go to Walmart my first stop is the fabric department. But you really do have to watch the fabric. Some of it I would be ashamed to have on the shelf. But then again I have found some really nice fabric there.

jbj137 03-11-2010 04:25 PM

I am sorry to tell you that I was told by an employee at Wal Mart that all stores are in the process of phasing out the Fabric Depts. I am in SC and most are gone here already. J J

I was told by a Wal Mart employee in San Antonio, TX that the fabric departments were being removed from their stores gradually when stores are remodeled. That's been true in this area.
